Mixon Fruit Farm...August

Well...the groupon got me....like always, so off to Mixon's we went. Dan and Cheryl are always so nice to indulge my groupon explorations...some good, some not, but they are always willing to try anything.

This is a small fruit farm, at one time it was much larger, but is very scaled down. There is a tram ride through the farm and the trees, then in the back is where they have rented out some space to an organization rehabilitating some animals. So you get to stop and see the animals....and touch some..

Some gators in for rehab...

Baby gator....and 

I got to hold him....cool

Then the tape came off...my what sharp teeth you have!!!

The Buttercup came up.....WOW!!!

We could touch....I did, was icky

Talk about a face only a Mother could love.....

Loved the turtle...he was cool

We had a great time, and did something we'd not done before...I love my Groupons.
After a nice lunch at The Riverhouse, we parted ways.
We headed north to meet Karen and Garrett for dinner....had a great time and headed home, had been a rather busy but fun Saturday.
